Totally agree with this. I really don't like to go over an hour. Last night mine was 62 minutes. I also use the recorder on my cell phone so I can go back and listen to it over, to make sure I don't miss anything for narratives. They just eat a lot of time, and I don't really love shopping for a car to begin with. Shoot, I bought my 2016 over chat with a dealer, never walked in. They delivered the car and paperwork to my house, I test drove it from my house, then I signed off and was done.
It has to be 50 or more for me to think about it. Then, you have the dealers that keep your info for what seems like ever, and in my neck of the woods, a lot of the dealers are owned by the same company, and they cross populate your data.

The least I've ever done a car shop for is $40 (the no-test-drive one bonused up), and I probably won't do one for that again, even without a test drive. I got a chatty salesperson who had to tell me everything about the car, so I was on-site for an hour. Otherwise, I'll do them for $50, minimum, but have done one for $75. I like doing them, but they can be time-eaters. Depending on how far the dealership is, I like to get at least $60.
